able one for Grace. Twenty or more
of her younglfriends assembled at her
home on Haviland street and made
merry playing games of all kinds
Eva, a sister of the victim of the party
played several banjo selections and
Wilh’e Jesse played the violin. After a
while an adjournment was taken to Mr.
Collins’ restaurant on Washington
street where tables loaded with palate
pleasing food was in waiting. The
scene as the children sat at the tables
was a delightful one, and their ”merry
childish glee” was an evidence of their
happiness.

Thc- Cameron dynasty in Pennsyl-

for half a century. Simon Cameron

10111 of them. His son won an equal
uumbe1 of vict01ies for the same of-
fice; in fact, he was never defeated
for it. Senator Cameron may yet rc-

THEY, WILL BOLT.
The People of Norwalk Are
Vitally lnterested.‘
One Case and There Are Others.
There is a large body of bolters in Nor
walk and vicinity.
The movement has been gaining
force for some time and has become
so powerful. that those interested are
anxious to declare themselves, They are
bolting ancient and useless methods of
treating catarrh and hay fever, and they
have come out in full force for California
Catarrh Cure, because they have tried it
and know its worth. Here are words
from a Norwalk man who has tried
many medicines and tree tments before
he got what he wanted in California
Catarrh Cure, the greatest and only
known cure for catarrh:
Mr. Alfred P1att,9 Maple street, Nor-
walk, says. “I have been a great sufferer
from catarrh for over thirty years, hav-
ingr contracted the disease during the
war. My whole head seemed full of
scabs, and the discharge from the nose
and into the throat was something awful.
My head ached almost continually, and
I never got a good night’s sleep. I pro-
cured a bottle of California Catarrh Cure
at Plaisted’s drug store, South Norwalk.
It has given me more relief than I have
had for years; my head' is very much 1m-
proved and I can now sleep all night.
It is certainly a great reliever, and I am
glad to recommend it. Nothingr among
all the things I tried before helped me
one quarter as much in months, as C. C.
C. has in a few weeks. ”
You don’t.have to wait to find out if it
' will help you, for it relieves at once. To
avoid Hay Fever in its season, use C, C.
C now, It is a sure preventive of this
and all mucous diseases. Use it to break
up your colds, and to revent colds
‘ hanging on.” Price, 5 cents; three
times as much for one dollar.
